International Visitors

Overview

The Division of International Technical Cooperation arranges meetings at the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) for many
international visitors each year. Visits are arranged for individuals, as well as for
groups of all sizes. Visitors include
economists, statisticians, researchers, analysts, managers, academics,
trade union representatives, business leaders, and journalists. The length of a typical visit ranges from one hour to one day. If you are interested in a longer visit,
please see the information on Customized Seminars.

Meetings are conducted in English. Non-English speaking visitors must bring their own interpreter. Every visit
is unique and is organized to meet the needs and interests of the
visitor(s).
